Being as how I'm in Toronto for my Indigo gig with Heather Reisman tonight, I thought I'd make an in-studio appearance with John Oakley rather than doing it via the bit of wet string stretching from New Hampshire to Toronto. We discussed the enforced public recanting by Benedict Cumberbatch, who accidentally referred to people of color as "colored people", or vice-versa - and we also talked about the so-called "sex education" curriculum, which is really the appalling and evil ...

Just ahead of Wednesday's live appearance at Indigo Books in Toronto, I checked in with my old National Post comrade Don Martin at CTV's "Power Play". We discussed Canadian troops firing back at ISIS, and the broader issue of the Islamic State - oh, and Justin Trudeau, too...

The [Un]documented Mark Steyn
Mark is a little under the weather this weekend, and resting up before his live appearance in Toronto this Wednesday. But his excruciating pain momentarily lessened when he read this review of The [Un]documented Mark Steyn by Charles C W Jang in The Dartmouth Review:

Ave atque vale
Kit Carson was Rush Limbaugh's Chief of Staff, so Rush dubbed him "H R" - as in H R Haldeman, who fulfilled the same role for Richard Nixon. The dramatis personae of the Nixon White House aren't quite as reflexively familiar to an unassimilated foreign guest-host such as myself, and it took me awhile to get on top of it: on one early show, I referred to him as "R F", which bemused him. "Where did that come from?" he asked. After thinking about it, I figured I must have confused H R with R F, the studio boss of "Monumental Pictures" in Singin' In The Rain.

Steyn's Song of the Week
We're spending this weekend with the Isham Jones/Gus Kahn end of the Sinatra songbook. Following "It Had To Be You" on Friday, here's a song Frank sang for almost half-a-century from June of 1940, as the new boy vocalist with a hit orchestra, to deep into the 1980s, as a lion in winter jumpin' all over a hard-swingin' band...
